Bentley Cuts Bentayga Prices Following India-UK FTA
Reduced Import Tariffs:
Bentley is accepting orders at reduced prices for the Bentley Bentayga EWB SUV in India following the implementation of the India-UK Free Trade Agreement. The Bentayga EWB qualifies for a slashed import duty dropping from 110 percent to 30 percent under the terms of the bilateral trade pact.
Price Restructuring:
The luxury SUV, previously priced at Rs 5.9 crore before options, is estimated to cost around Rs 3.65 crore post-FTA, marking a projected reduction of approximately Rs 2.25 crore. However, these slashed prices apply only to a limited quota of 10,000 imported units encompassing petrol and diesel vehicles with engines above specific displacement thresholds.
Powertrain Limitations:
Other Bentley models available in India, including the Continental GT and Flying Spur, feature plug-in hybrid powertrains. Because the trade agreement disallows tariff cuts on British-made hybrids and electric vehicles for the first five years, those models will not see immediate price reductions.
